[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] avathor:
Does the Kindle Fire 2 HDMI out over MHL Cable ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jatinrungta:
Can anyone please provide me with stock boot.img for Xperia U firmware c.10.

Please also teach how to make one
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 25scarface:
if u have flashtool and ftf file..

then

open ftf file in 7z and extract kernel.sin

now open flashtool

tool->sin editor->

browse kernel.sin and click dump data

u will get a file name kernel.elf in the same folder..

u can flash this kernel.elf file in the same way as boot.img

View attachment 1751265
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jatinrungta:
I know that already but want the img file for something else and .elf cant work with it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
you will have to build it from source.... and i dont think you will get boot.img from stock..... if you need it then the only thing to do is build from source....... :cheers:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4736004:
No.

Just unpack elf using flashtool.

You'll get zImage, bootcmd, ramdisk.

Then use mkbootimg to repack into img format.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jatinrungta:
and how exactly I do that on windows?

I get this

kernel.elf.3

kernel.elf.cert

kernel.elf.Image

kernel.elf.ramdisk
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
plz explain further.......

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
Will this work with the files we unpacked from kernel.Elf??????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4736004:
Rename these

kernel.elf.3 - bootcmd

kernel.elf.cert

kernel.elf.Image - zImage

kernel.elf.ramdisk - extract it and rename folder to ramdisk

Use correct path in cmdline
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
Thanks man you have solved a great problem for me......

Can I pm you if I get stuck somewhere for help?????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deleted member 4736004:
Of course :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jatinrungta:
Am I supposed to rename even the extension ie

kernel.elf.3 - just bootcmd or bootcmd.3 ?

and which folder to rename?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
rename totally........

as given

kernel.elf.3 -> bootcmd

kernel.elf.cert -> as it is

kernel.elf.Image -> zImage

kernel.elf.ramdisk - extract it using 7zip and rename folder to ramdisk

will try soon......

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jatinrungta:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] najodleglejszy:
I've accidentally formatted my SD card in Recovery menu (I chose "format /sdcard" instead of "format /system") and now I'm recovering files from it via Recuva. I really really REALLY want to get back my SMS messages backed up with Titanium Backup, but I don't know what's the name of the file, and Recuva didn't keep folder structure of SD card, so there about 10,000 files in one folder and I don't know which one should I put in which folder to make Titanium Backup recognize it and restore. could anyone help me with it?

I guess I won't manage to recover SMS messages, but I've found files from my yesterday's CWM backup. so far I've got data.yaffs2.img, system.yaffs2.img, .android_secure.vfat.tar and _android.md5 that I suspect is md5 checksum of the backup. is there any way to use them again in recovery OR extract SMS messages from them?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
I don't know about yours but in mine the three files are:

1. com.sonyericsson.conversations-20130222-110607.tar.gz

2. com.sonyericsson.conversations-20130222-110607.properties

3. com.sonyericsson.conversations-4dd5b9970089dead9ce60a0ff6fbf.0c6.apk.gz

So thus the three files in your phone will also be something starting with com.sonyericsson.conversations....search for them and then try to restore it :D Best of luck :)

Press THANKS if I helped,

Best Regards,

AJ
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] najodleglejszy:
thanks, but I can't find them :/ but I found files from my yesterday's CWM backup. anyone could help me figure those out?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
The files that CWM make are:

1) .android_secure.vfat.tar

2) .android_secure.vfat.tar.a

3) cache.yaffs2.img

4) data.yaffs2.img

5) nandroid.md5

6) system.yaffs2.img

If you find the files just store them in folder clockworkmod->backup->Then a folder with date and time when you made the recovery. It should be like YYYY-MM-DD.Hour(should be in 24-hour format).Minutes.Seconds(lol you might not remember it)

But i'm not sure if without this type of naming it will work or not. You could always give it a try :)

Press THANKS if I helped,

Best Regards,

AJ

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
Ben, this is not the place where you share about app news or any app which you haven't created, in this way everyday someone will see a new app in app development and they will post it here. I never expected that you will do something like this. You have 2000+ posts and you are quiet experienced.

I am not being rude, i just want that our section be neat and clean.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
ap030993: Bro I shared an APP news initially in general section, then some one reported and now it is in Theme/MOD/APP section.

Quite confused here. Actually where should we post an app news or share an app, which is actually not developed by me !

But this is app section from xperia s/ion...

Inverted whatts app is a general app so it's for general app section, which we have on xda.

So I don't think this is the right place for it :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
Yeah mate i saw that but i guess you can share some app news which are not known to everyone and cannot be accessed by everyone.

The app you shared cannot be accessed by everyone in the world,it is limited to northern european countries so that justifies it to be in app section.

But you should not share any app news from the Android app development section which can be accessed by everyone.

aSNAP - A lightweight & snappy screenshot app

aSNAP lives up to its name; this application is lightweight, extremely snappy, functional, and easy to use.

It doesn't have a large interface, but within the tiny user interface is a screen capturing workhorse.

This application requires root for its underlying workings.

Features

- Floating screen capture icon

- Tap icon to take a screenshot

- Hold icon to select a region to screenshot

- Extremely intuitive, fast, and functional

- Ability to save & share the screenshot

- Adds the screenshot to the gallery

-

Requires root!

The purpose of aSNAP is lightweightedness; its ability to quickly snap a part of the screen and share it is key to it's functionality and a fundamental reason behind its development.

Development:

Over the course of the near future, aSNAP will be in development and new features will be added such as extensive settings and new functions.

aSNAP Trial is limited to a maximum of 10 screenshots. Reinstalling the application won't reset this limit.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Download aSNAP on Google Play:

aSNAP Pro

aSNAP Trial
[Android Apps and Games] Appogee:
Quite useful, you're on a development roll Mohammad. Liking the region selection screenshot capability.
[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
Agreed. One option that would make it perfect would be the ability to move the trigger to the top right. I'm trying to take a screenshot of your sidebar app, but I can't.

I've tried several screen grab apps on my custom Kindle fire 2, and they all caused it to grind to a halt. Yours is working perfectly for some reason!

EDIT: Ignore my request above, it already works! Don't know why I couldn't before, but I can move the trigger button around. Love it.
[Android Apps and Games] chronicfathead:
Updated with screen grabs of Sidebar in action.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
That's really cool!
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
couldn't get to the settings screen of the app - is there one? since the error msg box had to be dismissed to get to the "floating screen capture icon", i couldn't take the attached screenshot with asnap. installed shootme and shook phone to get this shot. could you do something about this aspect? maybe a "shake to capture" option or an icon in the pull-down notification bar like in lewa roms.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Sounds like a great idea. Maybe in the future
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
i'll wait, but i hope you do it soon. :) as you probably realise by now, this is a handy feature, which could turn out to be a much-needed one too, for a lot of people. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
@Mohammad_Adib, just a reminder: waiting for update. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
Hi Mohammad, this app is having issue recognizing root on 4.3 roms. Had e-mailed you a few weeks ago but you didn't respond. I have the pro version which I can't use at all. Was reading your Roundr thread regarding root authentication and I'm wondering if it is the same issue for this app as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Yeah, probably. Ill get around to fixing it sometime.
[Android Apps and Games] Flash23:
2 things:

- When selecting a region it is real laggy in picking the right size

- Im getting the error where it says I'm not rooted as well... I'm in PA 3.99

Cool app so far!
[Android Apps and Games] pemell:
[MENTION=4249916]Mohammad_Adib[/MENTION] I see huge potential in this app. It can replace the screenshot function on the Note series and TouchWiz roms.

Imagine if you can deattach the s-pen, select a region with it and screen shot it, and then draw right on the screen shot before saving or sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
I've bought my Note 3 and not rooted. Can't run this for now. Any chance that the app could be used without root ?
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Can't, android doesn't allow that :( sorry
[Android Apps and Games] xdapowerapps:
[MENTION=4249916]Mohammad_Adib[/MENTION] - Any planned updates? Would be nice to have a "shake to capture" function and an auto-save feature so we can take multiple screenshots quickly (instead of pressing save/delete/etc). Other than that, good app. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] killoid:
[MENTION=4249916]Mohammad_Adib[/MENTION] any chance we can have GB support?
[Android Apps and Games] boscos:
I've paid for pro and the app is no longer on the market. Also, it asks for root on 4.4.4 when my phone is rooted and access is granted to the application. Is this application support dead?

is this not available anymore?

I saw this thread in one of the forums and could relate to most of them.. so just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."..

had a hearty laugh at some ones.. so thought I should share em with you guys..

Examples:

wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.

feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".

jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell :P lol

putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!

jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone..

Add more if you have some good ones. . ;)

I've tried going back to stock ICS then flashing CM10.1

I've tried going back to stock Jellybean then flashing CM10.1

Hi,

As a required prerequisite, CM 10.1 has to be ported over the device, because Ubuntu is built on top of it. As of now there are several aspects that need further work, you can check out OliverG96's device tree on github and give it a try. Most pressing would be sound and calls/sms/data, iirc

Hi there, i have been reading a bit about the new Ubuntu touch OS, and seems quite interesting. I just have one question, is Ubuntu for android the same as Ubuntu touch?

You can try to run it on an emulator, like Bochs/QEMU

See this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncoding.emulator

So you have to search for "Ubuntu Desktop .img for Bochs" "... For QEMU"

Or you download it and put all the file of the .iso in your sdcard then you select a .img e.g. boot.img. try all .img's

So you can have Ubuntu desktop on your android device

Hi all,

With Verizon releasing officially, the update making its SGS3 Global ready atleast for voice as of now, a lot of discussion is happening right now about the Global capabilities.

FYI. I'm a good reader and explorer on hofo,androidforums and xda. So any guidance is highly appreciated

So here is my question.

I have a Verizon S GS3. It is brand new.

1. Can I use it with Straight Talk T-Mobile SIM ( T-Mobile has good coverage near my house )

after doing the rooting, unlocking, etc. etc all the technical stuff

2. If I unlock the phone, will it be truly global capable, I mean, can I use my S GS3 on any GSM Network in the World, even in the USA, with 3G Speeds? Did anyone use it in any Country with 4G LTE Speeds?

3. I know this is really a very very strange question. But after unlocking the S GS3, will it be working on the AT&T LTE Netowrk in the USA? My thinking is, if it working in the LTE Network in the USA, then it will work in other countries as well, where LTE Network is going to be available in the future. Sorry, I know this is a bit weird.

If You can please refer and threads or links, it is fine with me. I'm also looking and not depending only on the answers that I get from this thread. But looking for replies/guidance/links though.

Thank You.
